Lance's Hts Lodge - Our Off Season Is More Consistent That Costa Rica's Surf Season

Lance's HTs Lodge Preserving The Stoke...All Seasons

Lances Right (HTs) is simply one of the world's most perfect and consistent Rights. Your air conditioned villa and the dinning room and bar have a perfect panoramic view of the wave and the blue lagoon just a few steps from your plunge pool and terrace.

Rooms are large and beautifully furnished. Speedboats give you access to the legendary Lances Left break just across the peninsular ..... or take a mountain bike and a short trek overland and see these waves the way Lance Knight did 20 years ago.

With just 4 two room villas, you will be sharing this beautiful place with a privileged group in a relaxed and private environment. This wave machine can deliver an astonishing number of perfect barrels every day.

* 16 surfers in four private Villas. There will normally be 10 - 12 surfers at the resort at any given time.

* We specialize in family groups and there are plenty of activities to keep non-surfers happy.

* Air conditioning to all rooms. A spacious tiled bathroom adjoins rooms.

* Splash pools and bar in front of each villa overlooking the surf.

* Home style cooking, fresh percolated Sumatran coffee, whole-meal bread baked daily, lots of fruit and organic vegetables, a mix of western and spicy local dishes to suit your taste.

* Right and Left surf breaks just a few mile apart. Lance's Right (HTs) has been rated one of the top 10 waves in the world. Lances Left right is one of the most consistent breaks in the islands. Both hold 4-5m swell.

LANCE'S RIGHT or HTs

Lance's Right or Hollow Trees, more commonly referred to as "HT's" has been voted one of the top ten waves in the world. Mentawai veterans call it the office... they like to park in the keyhole and surf all day... and call that a job! The wave wraps 180 Deg and actually breaks almost due south after bending, warping and amplifying around the south tip of Sipura. A freak of nature and a very special place. Wide sets can be fat and easy to make but everything else is fast hollow and almost mechanically perfect. The screamers across the reef can reward and they can punish. A wave to elevate your surfing skills if you can face the drop and believe in yourself.

LANCES LEFT

Lance's Left is one of the best known destinations in the Mentawais. It is world famous for consistency and quality combined with variety. Three main take off zones can be working on the same day with as many sections that barrel and on the best days connect all the way through. The end section is so inviting that almost everyone gets tempted to try it. Dont. The canyons will get you on low tide and you can end up in a washing machine on high tide.

BINTANGS

Bintangs Right delivers more fun per meter than most waves you will ever surf. It is short and sweet. On days when the hell north winds blow everything out, Bintangs shines. Located over the bay from Lances Left, it can be reached by mountain bike and a beach walk or when conditions are safe, by speedboat.
